Commentary on Jeremiah 7:9
Theological / DevotionalWill ye steal? The construction of the Hebrew is vivid and emphatic. The thought may be rendered, “What! stealing, murdering, committing adultery?” etc. The prevalence and continuance of these sinful acts are graphically represented.
Know not. Or, “have not known.” On the contrary, Jehovah had revealed Himself to the Israelites by the great act of redemption from slavery, the miraculous preservation in the wilderness, the proclamation of His holy law, and subsequent providential acts. The people knew by experience that He was God (see Ex. 20:1, 2).
